By noon on August 23, we were a mile from the confluence point 54°N 123°E. It was decided to park the car with watermelons on the side and go to conquer the forest confluence on foot, in beach slippers on impassable taiga. Very long time we made our way through the thicket, because of the thick foliage GPS hardly caught satellite signals. When the confluence gave up and its pictures saved on the flash memory, we went back. Tired and tattered, but happy that we passed the test of thorns and branches with needles, we returned to the car and have ate up another "sugar globe" with pleasure. Then we were awaited by a long road and hurried to the new target 54°N 122°E.
